You are not understanding the point. This is not about Spain at this precise moment. This is about the war on terrorism and what we are going to do with other countries. At a minimum, I can forsee great criticism about our double standard in the fight on terrorism. In fact, it has already started and I suspect that as time goes on it will become much worse. At a minimum, the military tribunal will be worthless if countries don't extradite. If Bin Ladin makes it to a country that says they will not extradite if Bin Laden is subjected to a military tribunal - are we going to invade the country? Will we invade it if it is Iraq but not invade it if it is Spain?
I have no desire to try to make you understand why this is something worthy of consideration. Either you understand why or you don't. You don't. Enough said.
You are not understanding the point. This is not about Spain at this precise moment. This is about the war on terrorism and what we are going to do with other countries. Apparantly you, and Helen, have short memories:
And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. (Applause.) From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.
